AgroZAR Potato

Potatoes belong to borophilous crops. Boron promotes intensive growth of the tops and root system, strengthens the immune system, improves the taste of tubers. In the absence of boron, the young leaves at the top of the potato bush lighten and curl, the petioles turn pink, the growth point turns black and dries, the stems become brittle, there are weak, thin side shoots.

Zinc, as part of enzymes, is involved in the metabolism of starch, but its main role is involved in the synthesis of auxins, the main hormones to control the growth of roots and tubers.

Manganese regulates the synthesis of enzymes that activate nitrogen metabolism, energy processes and the synthesis of fatty acids. Copper is involved in photosynthesis and protein synthesis. It is part of enzymes that activate carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

One of the key trace elements for potatoes is magnesium.

Magnesium is required for the formation of the structure of the chlorophyll molecule, which is an integral element in the process of photosynthesis, accelerates enzymatic processes, carbohydrate formation, is an integral part of ribosomes involved in protein biosynthesis, accelerates root growth in plants, accelerates substances from the soil, catalyzes the synthesis of adenosine triphosphates from nucleoside diphosphates. Magnesium is an important nutrient for the plant (especially in the young parts) during flowering, fruiting and seed maturation.
